white LED light turn on immediately and will hear the haptic buzzer make a

Turning on the X2 MR Glasses for the first time:
The first time you turn on the X2 MR Glasses, you will be taken through a brief
setup process. Please follow the below steps.
1. Put on the X2 from top down (see below picture). Attach the head strap to the
head strap notch if necessary.
2. Turn on the X2 by pressing and holding the power button. You will see the white
LED light turn on automatically and will hear the haptic buzzer make a noise. It
takes a few seconds after pressing the power button for the displays to turn on
with the ThirdEye logo. If the white LED or displays do not turn on that means
battery is low. Connect to your provided charger and press the power button. You
will see a battery charge icon if battery is low. After charging for some time,
press and hold the power button and the ThirdEye logos will display for the
normal power up process.
3. Once the displays are on, you will be taken to the home screen. If the screen or
icons seem blurry, this may be because the X2 is not positioned properly on your
face. Adjust it up or down on your nose, modify the flexibility of the nosepiece

10
if needed, and use the head strap if necessary, to position properly on your face
until you can view the full screen properly.
4. On the home screen you will see tutorial apps for the gaze/audio/gesture controls.
Look at the tutorial with your head to move the cursor and click by pressing the
physical “select” button or via the automatic head motion gaze click. The tutorial
will go through how to use the different user interface methods and
control/activate/deactivate them.

11
Head Motion “Gaze” UI Controls
There are multiple methods of user interface (UI) controls on the X2 MR Glasses.
1. Move/Click/Drag and Drop/Long Press: Using your head look up, down,
left, and right to move the cursor along with your head motion. Upon
looking at an icon, the Gaze UI cursor automatically “clicks” by just staring
at the icon for a couple seconds. You can drag and drop an icon by looking
at an icon and pressing/holding the “select” button. To “long press,” press
and hold the “select” button.
2. Gaze UI Tab: The Gaze UI controls tab is located at the top left. Each UI
button corresponds to a different function. You can move this UI controls

12
tab anywhere else on the home screen by looking at the UI tab and pressing
and holding the “select” button to drag and drop the UI Controls tab to a
different section of the screen.
3. Settings: The “settings” gear on the UI tab allows you to
customize the user interface per your individual preference.
Below are some of the customizations available:
i. Enable/Disable Auto-Click: To enable auto-click,
click on the icon displayed on the right which can be
found on the Gaze UI tab. If you want the automatic
clicking to stop, scroll down to the “disable auto-click.” After disabling
this, to click on something you have to look at the icon and press the
“select” button.
ii. Change Color/Size of UI Tab and Cursor: To change the color,
scroll to the UI controls color and drag and drop it to whichever color
you prefer. There is also an option to change the size of the UI tab
from small, medium and large per your preference.
iii. Change Speed of Cursor Auto-Click: Increase or decrease the speed
of how fast the cursor automatically clicks when above an icon.

13
iv. Change Speed of Cursor Movement: You can increase or decrease
how fast the cursor moves with your head motion speed.
v. Enable/Disable Gaze UI Controls: You can disable the head motion
gaze UI controls in settings if you want to use audio, gestures or a
wireless controller instead. Note: If you disable the head motion gaze
UI controls, you will need to use some other form of UI control (audio,
gestures, a Bluetooth controller device, or Vysor app on a computer.)
To re-enable the head motion gaze UI controls, click on the Gaze UI
app or enable in settings.
vi. Restart Gaze UI Tutorial: You can always redo the initial tutorial
via the Gaze UI tutorial button in settings.
4. Hide UI Tab from Top: To minimize the UI tab, click on
the “ThirdEye” logo next to the “settings” icon in the UI tab.
This will minimize the UI tab. To reopen the UI tab, look
at the “ThirdEye” logo on the bottom right and click on it. You can move
the minimized UI tab anywhere on the screen via the same “drag and drop”
method. Remember where you moved it so you can reopen it later.
5. Previous Screen (Back/Home) Functionality While Gaze
UI Is On: If the gaze controls are enabled, to go back to the
previous screen, you can click on the “back” icon on the gaze
UI controls or press the physical “back” button.

Audio UI Controls
The X2 MR Glasses support audio commands in English using a custom speech
recognizer. The device uses the latest technology for advanced noise
cancellation. Speech recognition works in various environments.
• The wake-up word to enter audio command mode is "Okay ThirdEye."
• You can say "Stop listening" to go back to turn off audio commands.
Upon saying the wake-up word, the X2 MR Glasses will make an audible “ring”
sound and display text on screen to let you know the X2 MR Glasses are listening
for audio commands. You can say multiple audio commands in a row; however,
if you are going to be talking in the meantime that could trigger commands
unintentionally.
You can say “show commands list” to get a scrolling list displayed of all the
audio commands in case you forget any.
When you say, “stop listening,” the X2 MR Glasses will make an audio “ring”
sound to let you know it has turned off audio commands.
ThirdEye Global Audio Commands:
The below audio commands are global commands meaning that they can be used
on any screen after saying the wake-up word. They will work on the home screen
and in any third-party app, unless the third-party app developer specifically
deactivated a global command.
